Lin Ran sank back into his seat, his expression clouded with regret. “That’s unfortunate.”

Feng Jue countered, “If Smile remains elusive, could there be another culprit?”

Even if this individual didn’t intend to take his sister’s life, their attempt to harm her couldn’t be overlooked.

As for Smile and the enigmatic entity backing him, time was on his side. There would come a reckoning day.

“Indeed! I’ll delve into Ye Qingzi’s background now.”

Lin Ran felt a throbbing headache coming on. If it were merely business rivals from the Wang and Xue families seeking retribution, it’d be manageable. Yet, if the Ye family, one of the Eight Great Clans of the capital, was involved, complications arose.

The might of the Ye Family was undeniable. Even if Ye Qingzi were implicated, they’d likely shield her.

Unless Xiao Yize intervened.

However, the intricacies of the aristocratic circles in the capital were labyrinthine. Typically, there was room for maneuvering amongst them.

Furthermore, the bond between the Ye and Xiao families was delicate. Though they hadn’t interacted much lately, Ye Qingzi’s mother shared a close friendship with Xiao Yize’s mother.

While Xiao Yize might show no leniency towards Ye Qingzi, her mother’s plea could complicate matters.

Gu Yang intervened, halting Lin Ran’s train of thought. “Actually, there’s a simpler route. If you seek the mastermind, interrogate the driver.”

Lin Ran let out a resigned sigh. “The driver’s been under interrogation for days, but he hasn’t wavered. Insists it was an accident.”

Gu Yang leaned forward, a glint in her eyes. “Mind if I have a word with him?”

“Of course,” Lin Ran replied reflexively, then realization dawned. “Ah, but with your skills in hypnosis, perhaps you can coax out what we’ve been missing.”

Though unsure of her exact proficiency, rumors suggested Gu Yang’s prowess surpassed even Tally from the Katie family, placing her at least at S-rank—a rarity among hypnotists.

Eagerly, Lin Ran motioned for Gu Yang to follow. “Come along, Sister.”

Feng Jue intercepted Lin Ran, addressing Gu Yang. “Allow me to accompany you, Sister.”

Gu Jin, overhearing, intervened sharply. “I’ll join as well. And refrain from calling me ‘sister.’ Who gave you that idea?”

Lin Ran withdrew his hand sheepishly.

Why could Xiao Yize address her so, but not him?

Observing Gu Yang, Gu Zhaoming pondered, contemplating joining the group.

Gu Pei piped up, “Count me in!” Feng Jue and Gu Jin were accompanying his sister; he couldn’t be left behind.

Gu Yang directed her words to Lin Ran. “Brother, stay here with Dad. We’ll head over to question the driver and be back shortly.”

Lin Ran chimed in, “Exactly. Three’s a crowd, especially in that cramped interrogation room.”

This youngster lacked any particular skill or mutant ability; there was no reason for him to join in.

Furthermore, their department adhered to certain principles. If they aimed to minimize interactions between ordinary individuals and mutants to prevent undue panic, they’d avoid involving non-mutants whenever possible.

Gu Pei bristled at being left out.

Yet, Gu Zhaoming intervened, offering a stern reminder. “Exercise some restraint. Just sit tight. Can’t you handle that?”

Look at him, a paragon of composure.

In the interrogation chamber, the driver, a middle-aged man in nondescript attire, appeared fatigued, his head drooping slightly as if he were fighting off drowsiness.

At the sound of approaching footsteps, he glanced up, impatience evident in his voice. “When do I get out of here? Everyone’s been saying the car malfunctioned. Even if I slammed on the brakes, it wouldn’t have made a difference. I’m a victim here. If anyone’s to blame, it’s the car manufacturer, isn’t it?”
